Otto Tomasch ”daisygarden :
I am Ukrainian. At present I do not live in Kiev (I lived before), but by chance, at that time I was in Kiev.
1)
There was about 20 000 p[eople] on Maidan [in the public demonstrations
to bring down the corrupt President Yanukovych; like all of Ukraines
Presidents, Yanukovych was very corrupt]
2) most of them were paid (Right Sector, Nazis) by US.
3) [also] lots of paid addicts [and] unemployed
4) some naive people [unpaid] (including my son, educated but ignorant), in search of democracy.

The U.S. paymasters wrote the script, and directed the show.
(It’s ugly.) The 20,000 Maidaners did not. On 13 December 2013,
Victoria Nuland, Obama’s agent masterminding the operation along with
the CIA, said “We have invested more than 5 billion dollars to help Ukraine,”
and she used euphemisms such as “democracy” to describe our objectives
there, but the people whom she chose to run the post-coup Government did
not restore the democracy that we overthrew; they actually ended it.
The real reason we are doing all this in Ukraine, is so that the voters who had elected the Ukrainian President
that we overthrew on February 22nd will be removed from Ukraine, and so
that the U.S. will thus in the future get Ukrainian leaders ‘elected’
in Ukraine whom our leaders (Americas aristocrats, the people who
actually fund American politicians campaigns) want to be ‘elected’ to
lead Ukraine.
This is the new way for one countrys aristocracy to
control another country: now that the international standard is
democracy, the cheapest way for aristocrats to control another country
is to get rid of the voters who elect leaders that ours dont want to
lead those countries.
For example, in Ukraines May 25th
Presidential election, only the areas in Ukraine that favored our coup
were allowed to vote, and the other regions didnt even want to vote in
that election because the government that was holding it was (and is) bombing them. See the electoral turnout map at wikipedia, which is herehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukrainian_presidential_election,_2014#mediaviewer/File: _ – _ _ _ _ _ _2014_ _ .PNG
and
this turnout (as you see: almost zilch in the southeast) contrasts
sharply with the turnout in the election that chose the President,
Viktor Yanukovych, whom Obama overthrewhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elections_in_Ukraine#mediaviewer/File: _ .svg,
in which election — the last truly nationwide election in Ukraine — the
turnout was approximately the same percentage of voters throughout the
entire country. Basically, the Obama-installed Government doesn’t represent the people in Ukraine’s southeast at all: it is instead exterminating them, with our money. (That’s money U.S. taxpayers lend them via the IMF, and which cannot actually be repaid. Ukraine is already bankrupt: only our continuing loans keep the war that we started, going. We aren’t investing in this genocide; we are funding it.) So, what todays Ukrainian Government insists was a democratic election on May25th that includes the regions theyre bombing, is in fact not that at all.
Basically,
the extermination-program in the southeastern half of Ukraine
antagonized the residents there toward the regime that was choosing the
candidates and that was holding the May 25th, 2014, election; and, yet,
this Ukrainian Government
claims that the regions that are breaking away from this democracy have
no right to do so, even despite this governments ethnic cleansing
program to get rid of the residents there. If that reasoning sounds
crazy, it is, but there are plenty of fools for it: a vast majority of
the American public believe it: they believe that the U.S. generously
helped the idealistic Maidaners replace a dictator (Yanukovych) with a
democracy. The public belief is based on myth thats packaged and
marketed to the U.S. masses — the people who simply foot the bill.The United States
insists on Ukraine’s ‘sovereign right’ to exterminate the residents in
its regions that don’t support the government that the United States has
imposed upon all of Ukraine (and imposes by force against the regions
that dont accept it). For the residents in Ukraine’s southeast to resist
being exterminated is for them to be ‘terrorists.’ That’s America’s
reasoning. It’s also the reasoning of the Government that we installed
there. And the aristocracy, the oligarchs (who also own the news media), sell it in their respective country: U.S. or Ukraine.
The people in the regions that our Ukrainian Government is now bombing, had, in the final authentically democratic election in Ukraine, in February 2010, voted overwhelmingly for Viktor Yanukovych,
whom Obama overthrew; and, so, Obama wants to get rid of these people
in order to prevent a leader like that (a leader favorable toward
Russia) from being elected in Ukraine again; and those residents also oppose fracking for gas (and they live on a huge shale-gas field)
because they don’t want their water to be poisoned (and Ukraine’s
environmental laws and enforcement are virtually non-existent; so, only
the people need to be gotten rid of there, our aristocrats want the
land; they want to sell that gas; and Obama wants to block Russia, or
any of its oligarchs, from selling Russias gas to Europe; he wants to
choke Russia). Western oil companies, and Ukraine’s own oligarchs, want
to frack Ukraines shale-gas; and one of the reasons why Obama
perpetrated his coup to overthrow Yanukovych was to let them do that.
Furthermore, Western arms-makers want more war in order to restore their glory-days during the Cold War.
So:
not just Obama but oil companies and arms-dealers also want US (the
United States, via our appointed Ukrainian Government) to drop bombs
onto the residents in southeastern Ukraine, to either kill those people,
or else scare them away (to become refugees in Russia or elsewhere).
These massacres of people in the southeast started on May 2nd.
A reader asked me why we’re doing this; and my reply listed at least 4 reasons for our bombing them:
1) The U.S. aristocracy is committed to its global dominance over all other nations aristocracies (including Russias).
2) Removing the residents from’S.E. Ukraine will allow fracking by the U.S.-affiliated oligarch Kolomoysky and by publicly owned oil companies.
3) That fracking
will end up selling to Europe gas produced by our favored oligarchs,
not by Russias; so, we must defeat Russias aristocracy, and the ethnic
cleansing is a key part of that plan.
4) U.S. military contractors will boom from this renewed Cold War.
As regards the third point, there are lots of articles about the gas back-story to Ukraine.
This
is basically an aristocratic operation, which, as they usually do, is
set up for us to fund it and for them to profit from it. According to the leading authority on income-distribution in the U.S.,
Obama’s vaunted “economic recovery” after the 2008 Bush crash is
fictitious for the bottom 99% of the U.S. population, but very real and
plentiful for the top 1%: Top 1% incomes grew by 31.4%, while bottom 99%
incomes grew only by 0.4%, from 2009 to 2012. Hence, the top 1%
captured 95% of the income gains in the first three years of the
recovery. Incidentally, thats virtually unprecedented in economic
history: usually, the income-distribution becomes more equal after an
economic crash, not less equal — less equal is normal only for economic
boom-times, not for economic recoveries. So, while Obama gets the
American public to subsidize the business (actually the mega-theft)
operations of the U.S. aristocracy, how sincere, actually, is his
liberal rhetoric about the need to reduce economic inequality in the
U.S.? If he says to us, “Well, I tried,” then it can only be asserted
with a wink and a nod to his ultimate expected benefactors, especially
when hes getting us to fund a very bloody land-clearing operation for
American oil companies and for a complicit Ukrainian gas-oligarch, and
for arms-dealers.
The question of what the residents of Ukraine’s
southeastern provinces think about what we’re doing to them is ignored
in the Western press, because our media are owned by our aristocrats,
who largely placed into power the current U.S. Government. However, the residents in southeastern Ukraine, tell you what they think about our bombing of them, right here.
So:
under Obama, feudalism is being restored, in its new form, which is
fascism. What feudalism was for the Agrarian Age, fascism is for the
Corporate Age — the Age in which power
comes from owning shares of corporate stock, instead of from owning
acres of agricultural land. Corporations, rather than landed estates,
are now the aristocracy’s basis. That’s why Mussolini sometimes referred
to fascism itself as “corporationism.”
If
racism is added to fascism, as Hitler did, then the resulting ideology
is called “nazism,” which isn’t any political party — not the Party in
Hitler’s Germany (the original Nazi State, run by the original Nazi
Party), nor in Ukraine (which has two nazi parties, which share this one
ideology, and neither of which calls itself Ukraines Nazi Party). The
lower-case term, nazism, refers to the ideology itself, just like the
lower-case term fascism does. So, thats the difference between, for
example, the Fascist Party in Italy, and a fascist party (such as the
post-Nixon Republican Party in the United States).
Although Obama
isnt himself a racist (only a fascist), he is exploiting a popular
racism in Ukraine, one thats against ethnic Russians, so as to attain
his goal, which is to lock-in the global supremacy of Americas
aristocracy.
For example, the leadership that Obama installed into Ukraine want to exterminate ethnic Russians, not only within Ukraine, but in Russia too. This is a key reason why Obama installed this governing coalition of nazis and fascists there: the nazis among them hate ethnic Russians. (It’s an old story in Ukraine’s northeast: a hatred of all Slavs.)
Whereas Obama (and the rest of Americas aristocracy) is fascist (and
this includes, for examples, not just the rabidly anti Democratic Party
pro-Republican Koch brothers (for whom Obama is fighting in his Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership negotiations against the EU), but there’s also the specifically Russia-hating pro-Democratic Party Obama-backer George Soros. He’s like a Captain Ahab against this Russian Moby Dick that he’s fighting to the death. The end of the ideological Cold War
evidently didn’t slake his craving for sheer conquest, which has turned
out to continue even after Russia ended its communism. His battle here
turns out to be racist, not ideological per se — neither democratic, nor
merely fascist, but rather nazi, in nazism’s anti-Russian
embodiment. Thus, consider a TV station that’s funded by the West
including by George Soros’s International Renaissance Foundation,
Hromadske TV. In July, with the ethnic cleansing in Donbass raging full
force, a guest on the West’s Hromadske TV Channel (a channel whose
audience mushroomed after the Obama coup), an unknown ‘journalist’,
Bogdan Butkevich, was interviewed, and said,
“Donbass must be exploited as a [gas-producing] resource, which it is. …
Donbass … is severely overpopulated with people nobody has any use for,
… approximately 4 million inhabitants, at least 1.5 million of which
are superfluous. … There is a certain category of people that must be
exterminated.” Hromadske TV in 2013, during the lead-up to the coup,
received 8% of its funding from Soros’s International Renaissance
Foundation, 16% from the U.S. Embassy (which appointed the new
Government in February 2014), 31% from the Netherlands Embassy, and 44%
from “Individuals,” who are Ukraine’s oligarchs, including the gas baron
Ihor Kolomoysky. The U.S. regime installed Kolomoysky in 2014 as a
regional Governor, and he co-masterminded the extermination program against ethnic Russians, starting with the massacre of regime-opponents at the Trade Unions Building in Odessa, which began the extermination program. Kolomoysky owns fracking
rights to more of Ukraine’s gas than any other person, via his Burisma
Holdings, to which he appointed as a board member in 2014 Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden.
Potentially, the Biden family could become billionaires from this, but
the residents in Donbass would need to be cleared out first. Kolomoysky
also owns Privat Bank, which holds the bank account for Hromadske TV.
So: in a sense, saying that at least 1.5 million Donbass residents
should be “exterminated” is promoting among the Ukrainian public the
business plan of Kolomoysky and his friends.
Forbes’s Mark Adomanis headlined on 15 April 2014 Ukraine’s Economy Is Nearing Collapse
and he wrote: “the currency has been in free fall, losing more than 35%
of its value against the dollar this year. The Hryvnia has been the
worlds worst performing currency in 2014. … The only reason that things
havent totally imploded is because of the $18 billion package of
assistance from the IMF
and the $9 billion in additional assistance pledged by the United
States and the European Union. This financial assistance is desperately
needed and will obviously help the Ukrainian government keep the lights
on. The problem is that Ukraines … economic outlook is darkening, [and]
Ukraines already large funding needs have grown commensurately.” Only
the (taxpayers in) U.S. and EU, and the IMF (funded mainly by U.S. taxpayers) are funding this slaughter.
Moreover, Adomanis’s very next article, 10 days later, was headlined
The European Union Isnt Going To Bail Out Ukraine. So that leaves only
US to keep Ukraines soldiers paid, fed, and supplied.
The racism
that is being utilized here to get rid of the undesired voters isnt
necessarily shared by its American sponsors, who are merely trying to
increase their own international dominance. Beyond a certain amount of
wealth, the main motivation becomes sheer power; and, so, thats what the
biggest aristocrats are trying to maximize — their power, not their
wealth in itself. They just do it with our money. But Republicans (the
ones who declare themselves as such, and not merely fake ‘Democrats’
like Obama who are actually closeted Republicans), say that this nation
doesn’t have enough money to feed and shelter the homeless and to
rebuild our crumbling infrastructure and get our unemployed and
underemployed back to work and skill-trained at public expense so that
they can become public assets.
We have only enough money to invade
Iraq, ethnically cleanse southeastern Ukraine, and … maybe, install
nuclear missiles right next door to Russia in Ukraine.
So, that’s
why “More than 50,000 U.S.-backed Troops Are Fighting in Ukraine’s Civil
War.” We’re feeding them, and paying for their weapons — and for their
coffins. After all: that countrys in debt to everybody, because its
oligarchs have skimmed off most of the foreign aid and socked it away in
Switzerland and other tax-havens (such as Burisma Holdings in Cypress).
As for the people of southeastern Ukraine: we’re just getting rid of them, that’s all.
And,
of course, were blaming Russias leader, Vladimir Putin, for it. Thats
part of the plan: to blame him for whatever our press and its
aristocratic owners can get away with blaming him for. Because theyre
the ones, after all, the aristocracy, whose plan it really is.
And thats why “More than 50,000 U.S.-backed Troops Are Fighting in Ukraine’s Civil War.”
Aristocrats come up with the plans. We merely fund their plans. And this is what democracy and capitalism have come to refer to.
And Americans
keep believing their fantasies. And more and more wealth thus comes to
be held by fewer and fewer people. The American publics fantasies are
very profitable for some people.
